SpeedMaxPc Reviews
SpeedMaxPc is a downloadable software system that claims to give users “High Tech PC Optimization” by scanning their computer, identifying the “bugs,” cleaning their system, and then protecting them from future problems.
SpeedMaxPc is free to download and, once downloaded, will conduct a free scan of your computer, both hard drive and registry, to see where there are areas that could be addressed to have your computer run more efficiently.
In addition, SpeedMaxPc will scan your computer for spyware and malware and show you the specific issues that can be treated with their software.
However, these problems and areas of inefficiency will not be fixed by SpeedMaxPc unless you decide to purchase the software at a price of $29.99. Once you have purchased the software, SpeedMaxPc will begin fixing the issues so your computer can more efficiently.
And once your current problems are corrected, SpeedMaxPc also offers continual protection against spyware and malware so that future viruses cannot affect your computer’s performance.
On 4-29, I ordered Speed Max PC, had it before--computer crashed
Got it fixed, but Speed Max PC was lost. I paid for it, by 5-1, I realized it wasn't gonna work--no key code either, but my bank showed a charge
for it. So, I tried again--it works fine. Can't find any other way to contact
Speed Max PC.
Please refund my first payment.

Regret that I made an impulsive purchase. For $29, all one gets is a sales pitch to buy unnecessary and hideously expensive services.
Someone should shut them down.
SpeedMaxpc is a rouge diagnostic and maintenance tool.
once installed on your computer, speedmax will generate surplus notifications, claiming your computer has serious system problems.
This program incorperates advanced techniques which make it very difficult to remove manually.
Product doesn't work worth a crap. Uninstalled the program shortly after install....computer never worked properly after that. A year later they helped themselves to another years subscription. After months of dead ends and no responses I made a complaint to the better business bureau. Much to my surprise they offered a refund within 3 days. Still waiting.... Scam program and scam company.
I had a ton of toolbars installed on my browser and a bunch
Of unnessarry programs on my pc.
The software cleaned up my browser files and history
And removed all the programs I don't use.
Plus cleaned and removed all the torrent stuff my computer
From when my 17 yr old was using.
I can say without a doubt speedmaxpc worked well
For me.
I purchased this program because I kept getting the "blue screen of death". I installed speed max and dont know if it really fixed my problem but I never got the "blue screen of death" again so it could have. As far as for speed, this program didnt help it AT ALL. My computer is still slow and gets on my nerves so I wouldnt purchase this again....although one year later, safe card charged me 29.97 for it. Apparently its automatic but I called safe cart and they reimbursed me and cancelled my automatic payment and membership..or whatever it is.
Like so many other postings, I wish I would have done my research first. This is a scam!!!! I tried the free software on an older PC. Paid the money and registered the product. Tried to have it fix my computer and ended up with a blue screen. The technician on the phone who insisted on having access to my computer to register the product ends up telling me I need more software and needed to take computer in to have fixed- it was slow before, not useless. He nnever did fix or reset it. I restored my registry and was up and running 6 minutes later. Total waste of money. Would recommend to my enemies- all others stay away!
Take it from me this is a complete rip off!!!! I wish i would have done my research first! This crap does not work, can't get any help or response to my emails, obviously this is a scam most likely from nigeria or some place that screws you over just to take your money. And, 1-year later they do it again by charging your credit card again without authorization!!!
I fell for it!!! I'm the idiot. It did nothing and all I really got was a sales pitch for $250.00 plus $19.95 a month to 'really' fix my errors. Hope to get my money back.
I can't believe I fell for this total scam.....I am old enough to know better and I was even sober at the time !
Having read the above reviews ( if only I had read them first ) I now need to stop this outfit getting any more of my dosh.
The message was popping up each time we switched on our computer. Finally we gave up and paid around £ 31 pounds, then somebody on the line said that it is better to pay them £ 189 pounds than to buy a new computer. Then then offered us Malware software for £ 85, which we did not buy. They asked us for our computer password explaining that they will fix all problems that while we are sleeping. They promised to give us a telephone number in London where we can phone if we have any problems. Experts are supposed to be available for the duration of one year but we are unable to contact them now when we have a problem with out computer. We never received any proper receipt regarding our payments. Either it is a fraudulent company, or a company avoiding to pay taxes in the UK.
Same has happened with me, I wish to have my money back under their 30 day money back guarantee, I ended up paying £32.09 I have been trying to contact them via the support site which always appears to be off line, plus I have emailed them and the free phone just plays music all the time I am in contact with my bank for dispute form to hoepfully receive my refund
Ran across this using Speednet. Shocked me that Speednet would let this scammer use their site. A hex on themmm
Just purchased the speedmax pro today as my computer was running slow. I read on a site how this one was top rated!!Well i paid the "one off discounted price of £31" then telephoned to get it activated. Was answered by some tech who took over control of my computer and pointed out the 1300 faults and errors, then went on with the hard sale saying that they could fix it for a mere £129..."a lot cheaper than buying a new computer he said". I thought the £31 fee was to fix my computer and speed it up but now its running even SLOWER!!!!!Now speed max is telling me an hour later that i have 83 problems and my privacy details are critical but the fix now won,t even work its frozen on my screen, can anyone help? I paid with paypal..have i any comebacks with the 31 days trial??
Undo the changes the program made and uninstall it. If that doesn't help, look online for instructions on repair install for whatever version of Windows is on your computer. If you cannot accomplish it, take your computer in for repair and consider this a hard lesson learned. Then get your money back for your purchase.
If your computer is slow, don't look to this program or any other that promises to increase speed. As you have experienced, they don't work and can make things much much worse. Look at what's running on your computer vs. the system's hardware and make appropriate changes.
Wish I had read this earlier.
SpeedMax advertises that it fixes Ieframe.dll problems "in 2 Minutes".
I wouldn't mind 5 Minutes, but in reality it does NOT fix anything.
I did ask Paypal to reimburse me!
I just hat such ripoff business,
Wolfgang
I had the same problem. I found speedmax pc absolutely useless. I paid with paypal and hopefully I can get them to stop any future payments. I will also try to get a refund but do not hold much hope. As the others say I wish I had read this report first.
After purchasing this product I tried using it. A statement comes up saying, "Service Not Available". This company is a total rip off and I am going to sue.
Folks, once for all, let it be known that any software that claims to speed up your PC by cleaning your registry is a scam. There are two reasons for a PC slowing down: memory fragmentation and disk fragmentation. To fix the first, just reboot. To fix the second run defrag or any defragmentation software. Other errors are likely due to overheating (dust-clogged fans are the usual culprits).
If you really want to clean up your PC, just run CCleaner (the first C stands for "Crap"). Get it here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner It's free.
Not enough RAM, bogged down with resource heavy programs, toolbars, spyware, computer virii, slow processor. But it all comes down to the same. There is no such thing as a software program that can speed up a slow computer. CCleaner is a great program to clean out the internet cache, but it has a registry cleaner as well. People who play with automated registry cleaners will get burned sooner or later, even with the legitimate ones.
This is a completely worthless product. When it comes to pc performance, you get more out of a defrag then you do this thing. The funny thing is when you ask for a refund and they send you bad information, to ensure you pass the 30 day mark
I am very dependent on printing from a DOS-application on a USB-connected printer (there's no LPT connection anymore).
The very easy way to succeed insofar is to let the DOS-program think, it is part of a network and define the printer as network printer, using the "net use lpt1" command + the printer's networkadress. This worked fine on my old Lenovo notebook, but it didn't on the new one.
It was obviously a networkrelated problem, as I got error messages like "Fehler 1058:Der angegebene Dienst kann nicht gestartet werden" when I used "net name" or "Systemfehler 66 Der Typ der Netzwerkressource ist falsch" when I use the "net use" command.
After some unsuccessful approach to my problem of my own, I googled both error messages. For the two querys I had the www.speedmaxpc.com site as first hit, advertising it's software as solution for the respective error message problem (and above all in some very, very bad, or rather crude german). Thus I really didn't (couldn't) imagine, that this soft was even serious, let alone able to solve my problem (I even deemed it to be some virus or other dangerous soft).
But it wasn't dangerous at all, it is a serious software and it even miraculously solved my problem. I now can use the USB-printer as network-printer as before.
So I say, this program was really worth the 20 Euros or so.
The specified service is disabled? My first hit when searching was Microsoft with a fix outlined in detail. And printing from DOS applications does take some tweaking but there's no way a PC optimizer could do this for you. It's a simple matter of pooling the printer with the port it's trying to use to get it to use the USB instead of the LPT port.
This review reads better than a Grimm's fairy tail. LOL!
I find it hard to believe that this product can still be on the market. I don't even recall what I was looking for on Microsoft's website and it appeared in the banner as a "preferred vender." "Microsoft Certified" This is the first time that someone claiming to have MS stamp of approval, but it is the worst virus that I have had on any system. I am going to have to contact my Virus Protection to have the damage done repaired. DO NOT EVEN LOOK AT OR OPEN THE TROJAN. You are hung after that. There is no help! Ban them.
Anyone can take a Microsoft picture and slap it on their website. Even then, Microsoft doesn't vet their partners...all companies have to do is sign up.
With that said, if you ask about any program on the Microsoft Answers forums or TechNet, you will get an honest answer from Microsoft MVPs, not someone who sells ad space. On both Answers and TechNet, the question of whether or not this particular program is safe, as well as others, has been broached and the answer is always a resounding NO, they ARE NOT safe and should not be used.
By the way, SpeedMax PC or Max Tuneup LLC is not listed in Microsoft's partner software directory. If you saw an ad for it on a Microsoft site, most likely it was a banner ad. SpeedMax purchased ad space and Microsoft simply showed that ad in their rotation of ads. You should complain to Microsoft directly about this and let them know this company is advertising itself as something it's not.
I have a relatively new PC that has an anti-virus software on it. My young daughter was on it and must have clicked on something b/c after that I kept getting script errors. This seemed like it would work so I paid the $30. I spoke to a tech who couldn't figure it out so he then said I needed to an advance tech for a small charge - at that point I said I didn't have time and would call back. Anyway, just for the heck of it since I already pd for it I ran it and it showed I had ~500 that needed fixing. I did the fix, rebooted as instructed, and then decided to re-run to see what it showed (at this point I had only rebooted and hadn't run anything. Now I had ~600 that needed attention. Needless to say, it didn't "fix" anything, that number just changed randomly. And the cookies, etc. it did clean out I could have done on my own - these weren't causing any errors. Just a waste of money.
thinks i'll be asking for a refund
I now have problems with Firefox the same as yourself. If you wish a refund ring

SpeedMacPc was unhelpful for me and did not fix any of my computer issues. I initially wanted to get rid of babylon, still there. When I read the issues speedmax pc could resolve i was sold. The pop-ups still appear and I also have problems accessing Firefox. My computer is now running slower than before and AVG virus alerts are now prolific. Sorry to say would not recomend this product.
There are lots of free resources for you online, legitimate computer help forums who will help you get rid of Babylon and other things that may be installed that are causing computer problems. I have provided some links. You should choose one forum, register, follow the instructions in the links, post the requested info and wait for assistance.

I was having issues with my computer. Found out about this from a friend. It fixed my issues.
OK, but what were the issues?? seeing as you are against the flow of other comments
a wast of money if you ask me it hasnt done anything to speed up my comp.wont ever get it again.
received incorrect licence oade, can't activate or repair anything richardshomesetc@shaw.ca
This program won't "fix" anything. Have you read the real reviews?
Dispute the charge or ask for a refund from the company, and don't look to programs like this as a cure for computer problems.
